Great on laptop, not so good on ios/ipados. I normally use Wipr2 which works great. Deactivated Wipr to activate UBOL. Went right back to page I was viewing. Ad at top had disappeared, but it's space was there(Wipr removes). Clicking on app icon says to activate in Safari even though it's already been activated.

Ads are blocked but it will keep a redirect page in the tab history so if I try to go back it will hit the redirect page and take me to the same page I’m currently on. Inactive tabs will just randomly change to an empty site with some JavaScript text on it related to ublock. Very annoying to deal with, hope it’s fixed soon
